Dear @RishiSunak,
Please do one good thing in your premiership and scrap tomorrow's bill to allow more North Sea oil & gas licences.
Or call an election now; we've all had enough, nobody voted for you.
Pls RT if you agree.

New European Parliament changes proposed for honey labelling to reduce honey adulteration have been questioned by the BHIPA. Lynne Ingram commented "Proper beekeepers are going out of business because Packers don't want to pay a fair price."

Interesting that the honey packers and DEFRA seem against better honey labelling. If they hadn't anything to hide surely they'd embrace the change. Obviously they've something to hide. Best to always buy local.

Honey that beekeepers collect is the excess that some colonies produce. It can be eaten, wax and all, straight from the comb or it can be extracted from the combs, strained and jarred.

#FunFactFriday: Honey bees can fly as fast as 15 MPH while in the field foraging. Speaking of foraging, did you know that #honey #bees visit between 50 & 100 flowers during one collection trip? These bees collect from sun up to sundown – talk about a busy bee! 🐝

This time of year sees a peak in Tree Bumblebee, activity. Unfortunately the quantity of bumblebee nest makes it impossible for honey beekeepers to come out and remove. The Bumblebee Conservation Trust has good information on these bees bumblebeeconservation.org/bu…
